Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
As a guy who was spent thirty four years deporting
the illegal aliens, I got a message to the mands
of illegal aliens that Joe Biden's released in our country
and violation of federal law. You better start packing now
your damn right, because.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You are going home.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We have seen one estimate that says it would cost
eighty eight billion dollars to deport a million people a year.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I don't know if it's actually or not.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Is that what American taxpayers should expect?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
What price do you put on a national security? Is
that worth it?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
And I want to send a message to everybody who's
in this country illegally. While you've heard from Kamala Harris
that she's going to give you free Medicare benefits and
free healthcare benefits, She's going to give you free housing
benefits paid for by American taxpayers. Donald Trump's gonna win
the White House. We all believe that, right. So our
(01:40):
message to illegal aliens who are in this country without
the consent of the American people. Is you got four months?
Pack your bags because you're going home.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
A friend's wife escaped birth, had a C section, and
it's always the discussion now doctors, it's a I guess
I I'm cynical.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You kind of have to be realistic. Maybe friends, I've
had a baby and the doctor said, uh, we need
we need to schedule this. Y schedule Wait, why are
why are we scheduling it? Whatever happened to the idea
of having a baby. Well, if they just said, hey, look,
(03:07):
I've been practicing medicine for twenty years. I don't want
to be You're gonna up having this baby two o'clock
in the morning, that's what happens. And I'm on the
phone trying to get a little more shut eye, and
you're screaming and hollering, and she's screaming and hollering, and
you all want me up here at the hospital, and
I'm telling you, you know, check how dilated it is.
And you're freaking out and trying to do your lama's
(03:29):
breathing and grab your bags, all the bags you packed,
and she's screaming, and you're screaming because she's screaming in
and let's just not do that. Let's go in and
have a procedure, you know, like everything else, and we'll
come out with a baby. Okay, all right. If it
reminds me that as a kid, I thought the word
(03:49):
cesarean started with the letter S. You'd think it would, right,
And I remember I went and looked it up in
the dictionary and it was in the C section. Remo,
what do a tick in the Eiffel Tower have in common?
(04:10):
There are both parasites. I took the batteries out of
the carbon monoxide alarm. The loud beeping was giving me
a headache and making me feel sick and dizzy. Yesterday
we came into the studio. Chad had prepped a particular
(04:34):
story of note that a small barbecue joined black owned
in a predominantly black part of town called Jacob's Jacs
Barbecue had been hit by thieves yet again, multiple times,
(04:55):
two times in a matter of a few days, at
least three times in a slightly longer period of time.
Pretty frustrating, and the fellow told the story that he
lost twelve hundred dollars worth of barbecue. They stole his
barbecue so we got him on the phone. Jim Mud
tracked him down. His wife got him on the phone,
and he told his story. And the longer we talked,
(05:21):
the more we felt for this fella. You know, he's
just trying to make it. And it turns out his daughter, Amaya,
just graduated from college and she works at the restaurant,
and wife, Martha's from here. He was from here, moved
away and came back. And we decided we're going to
(05:42):
raise a little money for him. So we put in
a thousand to seed the thing, and I thought to myself,
we may get three. That'd be good. We get three thousand,
and we will use that to feed the police officers
in the area, because that'll do some good, get some
officers in the store. It turns out the officers like
that place already. They stopped by there on their patrols.
(06:02):
And we ended up raising five We delivered three of
it yesterday, but the other two thousand has Some of
it's already been delivered in. Others of it have been mailed.
And we know the folks. It's mostly show sponsors who've
written the checks, and we know when they say they're
doing something, they're doing something. So it ends up being
it'll be well over five with the last few that
I heard of last night in this morning, and they
(06:25):
did sixteen hundred dollars at lunch yesterday, and we had
between ten and twenty people I can't remember how many,
because Emily handled it who wanted to a Zell account
so they could send money. So Paul Jacobs started the
day frustrated with all that was going on, and when
his head at the pillar last night, I know he
(06:45):
felt blessed. And I know he noticed that people care
about being a victim of crime and people care about
you running a small business. We did some good and
we did that because of all of you, and I
appreciate you for that. I wish you all could have
(07:06):
enjoyed the moment when we left, when he took my
hand right hand in hand, left hand on my left
shoulder and said, mister Barry, this was a huge blessing
to me and my family, and quit eating all my barbecue.
That's true, but but y'all made that happen, and those
(07:28):
are the moments that those are, those are special moments.
So one of the stories that touched me was we
decided that the money that we spent, there would be
an expense account for officers to go and eat, not
free on our behalf and on your behalf. And so
I got emails from several people, and I wanted to
(07:50):
bundle the checks as much as I could. So Tyd
Strickland lives up in Cyprus, and he picked up a
check from Ben Barlow with Barlow Hervey contractor. One of
the checks he's picking up from Joe Slovacik, a friend
of mine who's the lawyer Tina Bartley. His secretary wrote
an extra two hundred herself because the food was going
to police officers. And I thought, and that's just cool.
(08:11):
People are cream they really are. Everyone listens to Michael
Berry show Lucky Stop. Harris County's government really is such
a mess. Right now. Here's just one more example. Lena Hidalgo,
(08:36):
the absolutely crazy Nutty County judge, was late for Harris
County meeting this week. Harris County Commission's Court meeting. Adrian Garcia,
a Democrat. They used to be buddy buddy, but he's
(08:56):
had it with her. He starts the meeting with her.
So I'm guessing Rodney must have picked up the phone
and called her and said, get in here fast, you're
going to do stuff. So she comes bounding in and
with that crazy tone in her voice, starts in on
(09:17):
things and again has a little melt. Now like a child,
she really is, like the little girl who is my party?
And I'll cry if I want to. I want to
dress up like princess today. Uh, but it's finals. What
do you do? I want to a princess. I'm a prentest.
In her mind, it makes all the sense in the world.
She was installed there so that Rodney could control her.
(09:41):
I don't know if he knew she was nuts already,
but she was a Hispanic female. Uh, not unattractive, it
would be she speaks Spanish. It would be perfect. It
would be a great story nationwide. Rodney could use this story,
and he has, and he got her elected, and they
cheated in the next election and they got her reelected.
Now she's had some pretty serious criminal problems in the
meeting time, but so far, so good, because at the
(10:03):
end of the day, very very infrequently is anyone actually
prosecuted and sent away. Mostly there might be an announcement,
there's an investigation, but really very little ever happens. So
here is that meeting, and this is how dysfunctional Harrison
County quotas. It's Adrian Garcia presiding. He's taken over the chair.
And then you'll hear her come bounding in motion.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
To direct County Administration to work with all court offices
and return on May eighth with a revised job description
specific to the interim county administrators.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Can I come back in all right? Well I don't.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
I mean it would be nice to to be.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Able to participate as well. So let me. I just
got here. I mean, who called.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It wasn't me.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
We're just going to just I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Emotion was made by commission to direct. I don't understand
why why I was called to order without me.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
We were told that you were not coming back on
so that.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I did because you had said that ten o'clock was
the time that you needed to be gone.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
I said, I'll catch you guys on the other I'll
catch you guys on the other side.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I said, I'll read the emotion.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
And and we'll go over the flight is so late
because there's a storm, and then I certainly would have
the furst.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I can make a motion to bring item back up.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
Whenever you like check with your staff to confirm.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Right there, what you're watching is Rodney. These are all Democrats.
Ramsey's not speaking here. Ramsey's the only Republican down there.
These are all Democrats, and Rodney's trying to regain control
because look, he's got this slush fund here, he's got
this this honey hole, and he needs them to stop.
The Internacene fighting is drawing attention. People are gonna look,
(11:52):
we're gonna end up with federal investigators. We're gonna end
up with We've got folks out there, Charles Blaine, Bob showed,
Marissay Hanson, we got all Holly Hansen writing for the text.
You get all these people out there and they're poking around,
and y'all are going to end up exposing what's going
on down here. When you start that fire, we're all
gonna get burned. Uh. He's having to deal with her
(12:14):
her mental health problems. Judge. You know, we'll bring it
back up, and he's trying to tamp it all down
because he's the godfather. You guys, come on now, don't
give the citizens or or the Republicans, or you don't
give them any insight into what's going on.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Guys, come on, Judge, I can make a motion to
bring item back up whenever you check with your staff
to confirm that you're there or not there.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
So would you like me to read it?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Judge?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Okay, So motion to a point Jesse Dickerman to the
role of interim Comty Administrator and budget Officer effective. Did
we lose your.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Judge, she's gone off camera, Judge, yes, just for you.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
Tune your camera on.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, I'm working on it.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Can you guys see me?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
We can see you if you will.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
I don't think I'll have the looks.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That option.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
To direct the Interim County Administrator that they develop and
execute their plan to dissolve the Office of Countyministration by
September thirtieth. The plan should include an assessment of functions
existing within OC eight and recommendations of where those functions
should be moved, whether they be placed in other departments,
including joined with existing functions in other departments to reduce duplication,
(13:37):
or whether they should exist in one or more departments.
The report should be transmitted to Commission's court offices by
June sixth.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
Second motion by Commissioner Garcia, second by Commissioner Ramsey All
in favor.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
In your post. No, I'm a post motion fills. Now.
What happened there, so you know, is Rodney created a
county administrator. It has always been the case that the
county judge, which is not really a judge, that's just
(14:14):
a term used in Texas. It's not a person that
wears a robe and passes guilt or innocence or has trials.
The county judge is basically the county mayor. It's always
been the case. So Rodney installs Lenna Hidalgo, and with
each passing moment he figures out new ways to perfect
his scheme, and he figured out, we've got to get
(14:35):
power away from these county commissioners because they're trying to
meddle in the county's business. Imagine that they're the county commissioners.
I need a person I can control who's a full
time bureaucrat. So they create the county administrator's office, and
that person costs. That office costs millions and millions of
(14:56):
dollars to duplicate what's already done. But it's sort of
like when Barack Obama created czars and he had people
like Van Jones that he couldn't get through the Senate
because they had criminal convictions and open problems in their lives,
so he would just announce this is the czar of
bizar of that. So Rodney created the County Administrator office
(15:21):
to be the person everything would be done there, and
he would control that person and they would report only
to him. So this was a vote to prevent the
replacement of the last county administrator. Scandal plagued, but it
only had the two votes Adrian Garcia, which is really
an few to Rodney, and mostly Lena and Tom Ramsey,
(15:45):
and then Leslie Brioni's who you'll remember. They placed there
because they can control her. They tried to put her
in a court position. She and Rodney and Lena go
against it. Oh, it is so disfunct. His finger on
the pulse. The kitting team continues on the Michael Berry Show.
(16:10):
She knows consumed me clever little stuff all the time.
One of them was those short piece It said confused.
I've become confused when I hear the word service used
with these agencies Internal revenue service, US Postal service, Cable
(16:31):
TV service, civil service, federal state, city and public service,
customer service. This is not what I thought servicemant. But
today I overheard two farmers talking and one of them
said he had bought a bull to service his cows. Bam,
it all came into focus. Now I understand what all
(16:52):
those agencies are doing to us. That's kind of one
of those things you get ramon that The subject line
is FW colon space, FW colon space, FW colon space,
FW colon space, and it might end at the at
the on the backside of it, it might end with
a Now you probably won't forward this, she don't love
(17:16):
America or Jesus nor nothing good, but a few of
you will because you're good people. Usually something like that
on the back end. Usually something like that on the
back end, So you know, oh no, no, let me, let
me get to something else first. Let me get to
(17:36):
something else first. That eighty five Chicago Bears team. I'm
sure some of you remember that eighty five Chicago Bears
team and whether you were a Bears fan. I wasn't,
but you couldn't help but fall in love with that team.
There was there was something amazing about it. And Mike
(17:59):
did has said the toughest player he ever coached on
was on that team, and that was Steve McMichael. He's
born in Houston in sixty He was born in Houston.
He was sixty seven years old, went to Freer High School,
went to the University of Texas. He was drafted by
(18:23):
the New England Patriots and his dream was over. After
one year, he was cut. He wasn't good enough to
play for what was at that time a middling team,
but with a very good quarterback Steve Grogan. After one
season they cut him. Chicago picks him up as a
(18:43):
free agent. He would go on to a Hall of
Fame plus plus plus career. The guy could have played
in any era. One of the toughest human beings in life.
People describe him as and he has suffered for years
(19:05):
with als. He just passed away the last couple of days.
Was he sixty seven. I think he's number was sixty seven.
Just interesting because as tough as Mango was, you know,
I've known men who were extraordinarily tough and seemingly invincible.
(19:31):
The blow they could take in the ring on the field,
in life, the ability to persevere through horrible things in life,
and then when that darn body goes and there's nothing
they can do about it. It's tough. It's tough to work,
especially somebody who has been so tough and so strong.
(19:52):
The story from CBS Chicago, where he is a legend
see my Goo.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Michaels before he was the larger than live Steve Mongo.
McMichael known for his dominance on the football field for
the Bears and as many endeavors off of it. McMichael
was a six sports standout in high school in Texas,
where he would also play his college ball. McMichael joined
the Bears in nineteen eighty one, signing with him after
the team that drafted him, New England, released him after
just one season.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think our defensive lines is the best defensive line
in pro football.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He would go on to become a key part of
what is widely regarded as one of the best defenses
in NFL history. In nineteen eighty five, the first of
three straight All Pro seasons at defensive tackle, he helped
lead the Bears to their only Super Bowl title, recording
a sack in Super Bowl twenty. McMichael would play thirteen
seasons with the Bears from nineteen eighty one to nineteen
ninety three and ranked second only to Richard denn in
(20:44):
team history with ninety two and a half sacks. A
part of six Division championship teams, McMichael was a two
time first team All Pro.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I'm much rather play against an older guy like Montana
that goes down when you breathe on him.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
McMichael retired after the nineteen ninety four season, but was
far from being done in the spotlight. He appeared briefly
with WWF before going on to wrestle and commentate for
World Championship Wrestling for five years. McMichael's post career pursuits
also included a run for mayor in Romeoville and coaching
the Indoor Football League team, the Chicago Slaughter and don't worry,
I'll have it.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I'll have some speaks without home played umpire every game.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And he was famously ejected from a Cubs game in
two thousand and one by homeplate umpire Angel Hernandez, who
didn't care for Mango calling him out before singing take
me out to the ballgame. In twenty twenty one, McMichael
revealed he was battling als. Three years later, along with
family and friends who had four years pushed for it,
celebrated McMichael getting elected to the Pro Football Hall of
(21:41):
Fame es your baby forever.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I've now known maybe ten people to die of ALS.
Dying of ALS is not the worst part. It's living
with it. It's a horrible, horrible, horrible thing. Yeah, just
(22:09):
seeing what somebody goes through. We had a show sponsor
who just absolutely loved us, and then was Sam Fortenberry
and he owned Southern Front Door. And once he got
the early diagnosis, he took his top guy, who was
(22:30):
also a family man, much younger, hard working, and he
brought him in and said, look, you want to buy
this business. Guy said, I don't think I can. I mean,
I'm just a lotally employee. He said, well, I'm going
to make it work for you. I want this business
to live on. And he did, and that fellow, his
wife and his adult kids, they all now run this business.
(22:51):
It's been over ten years since then. But watching Sam,
this was a guy who'd been a cop and then
he'd his Southern Front Door. We're still with the show
to this day and that's been almost twenty years. And
he'd been a cop and he started this business. He
worked all the time and he hadn't taken time for
(23:12):
himself and his wife Susan to really, you know, vacation,
and they didn't live large. It just worked. And so
he got the diagnosis and they got an RV, got
it retro fitted, and while he could still move around
a little bit, they went and toured the country in
an RV. I don't know how many young people have
that dream, but for my parents generation, that was the dream.
(23:35):
You know, you put in your forty years at the plant,
you get an RV and you load it up. You
and mama and y'all drive around the country, arguing at
each other and saying, huh, what what is that? Well,
if you look at a map, well, I don't look
at a map. I know where I tend go. You
know that's the dream, right, And so he did that
and they would send photos, and I went with Robert Rees,
(23:57):
who was his sales rep and really more of a
relationship manager and friend to them. We went to see
him a couple of weeks before he passed, and I'd
never seen somebody so deep in the throes of als.
But it's horrible because you basically die by complete atrophy.
And he said, I'm a very lucky man. My wife.
(24:17):
My wife gives me bourbon every day, and he knew
I loved bourbon, and he wanted me to take some
of his bourbon. And I said, well, Sam, that can't
help you. I mean, you're doing bourbon. You could barely
move the inside of your throat. And he said, what's
it going to do?
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Kill me?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
He's a good man at als. That's a bad thing.
I wish we could figure that one out. That's a bad.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Bade to Michael Berry show is nichewide.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Mango McMichael was number seventy six, not sixty seven. I
transposed his numbers in my mind. The boy he was
a feat of human nature, was he not? Oh okay,
we've got Paul Paul Jacob the third, the owner of
Jacob's Barbecue on the line. Welcome sir, Good morning sir.
(25:08):
I sure did enjoy getting to meet you and your family. Sir.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
It was the feelings are mutual. Likewise, thank you so
much for mister Barry for pouring into our business the
way that she did. I always feel safe around the
man and women are blue, so that was a plus
to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Thank you so much. Well, I can tell you that
I went home last night. Ramona and I were both
saying that we don't. We don't get out and do
as many things as we used to because the show
takes so much more out of us. But it was
(25:55):
as much joy for us as it was for you.
Let me just say that, and I wish you the best.
We went and looked at the at the new location
that you're looking at doing, and we could only see
through the glass, but it looked really, really perfect for
what you're doing. And yeah, I hope that works out
for you. The one at Beltway eight, I think that's
(26:19):
a good location. It's easy to get to, it's easy
to tell people where you are. Has a full bar there.
I mean, doesn't look like you'd need to do much
if anything. Just walk in and put a new sign
out front.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Yeah, that's pretty much what the owner of the building said.
He said, everything is in there that we need to
do and and yeah, it's ready to go. Like you said,
just put the sign on the building. Oh, I'm thinking
about making that decision versus the one at the property
cross the street.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
For sure, I would do that if you you got
a lot more traffic going by there, and that's easy
to tell somebody Just come to the corner of belt
Way eight, and two eighty eight there's RV parking. Camp's
RV parking. I think it's a Chevron's unrelated. This has
nothing to do with whether you should do it or not.
But Ramona and I we walked the building, We watched
the parking lot. We was seeing who was coming in
(27:09):
and out. We went and looked into glass and all
that sort of stuff, and so I went in to
get us I wanted, I asked Ramone because Ramone drinks
diet pepsi or he was yesterday, which I thought was weird.
So I go to go in and I said, what
do you want? Said whatever, just a diet drink. I said, okay,
you want to diet coke, you want to diet pepsi.
(27:30):
She doesn't matter. And I thought that was a weird.
How can you not have a choice in that? I said,
all right, you want a diet coke or coke zero
because this is the two different flavors based on the
new coke versus the Classico. It doesn't matter. So I
brought a Coke zero and a diet coke and I
sat him on the console and he said, which one
do you want? I said, whichever one you don't want?
I want to see which one you'll pick, and he
(27:51):
could not care less. And I found that to be
the weirdest thing ever. I mean, that just felt weird.
But anyway, I tell you that, I tell you this.
I go in there and I go with my I
have my coke zeros, and I go walking up there.
Indian or Pakistani guy behind the counter, because that's all
that's the only people that don't gas stations anymore. And
he's kind of real quiet, and I go walking up
(28:13):
there with him. But there's a middle high life, you know,
the old fashioned the Champagne of beers, if you will,
and it's very aggressively playing. He's got one of these.
It's like the old bank tellers. He's got one of these,
just a hole that you can look through to see him,
and then he can close it and you have to
slide the money underneath there. But it's open at this
point because we're not under attack, or at least we
(28:34):
don't think we are. The middle of high life is
in the middle of that whole, very aggressively placed. So
I go walking up there. I don't notice the midder
high life, so I'm not sure, but then I do.
I'm not sure whether to put my coke zero down
or not, so because I and then I realized there's
this white dude and he could be fifty or he
could be eighty. There's a lot of miles on there.
(28:55):
And it turns out he's tweaking. He's at the he's
at the sunglasses area, trying to decide what he's going
to do with his sunglasses. He's got his middle high
life in the middle. I'm looking at the clerk, he's
looking at me. We're looking back at him. Because the
transaction is wrung up for four fifty seven, so I
can't just step in the middle of the transaction, so
(29:16):
I don't know what's going on for He sat there
for about a minute, and I wished I could have
filmed it, because he was on something some kind of bad.
I mean, he was, you know, that kind of real
jerky and all that and real weather blondish kind of
stringy hair. And I sat there for a minute and
then I asked the guy. I said, Uh, what do
(29:36):
I need to do here? He said, oh, you know,
you just go ahead and pay for it. So he
scanned my stuff, and I'm thinking that dude's going to
come and shank me for interrupting his transaction. So I
took my diet coach and we went outside, and Ramona
and I sat out there for a while. And then
another woman who was a much younger version of him.
She could have just gotten out of prison. She's a
white woman. She got a bunch of tattoos. And she
comes out, I guess, of the restroom. So maybe he
(29:58):
was waiting on her. He'd already paid for it. Unclear.
I need some details. But they come out and they
get into an old trail blazer, remember the old Chevy
trailblazer in the eighties when they went smaller with it
by the mid the nighties. And she they got the
windows down, there's no ac it's not that hot at
that point. She gets in the driver's seat and he
comes around and gets in the passenger seat, and they
(30:20):
drove off. And I had so many questions, Paul, so
many questions. So I got a message that you were
extending the free barbecue because we have more than enough
to pay for yesterday to police officers who come by today.
Is that correct?
Speaker 9 (30:36):
That is correct, sir. Let's take care of these officers,
these people that serve us. Let's take care of them.
I love.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Sorry, well that's first class, you know. I spoke to
some of those officers yesterday. Fontineau, cute little light scan
black girl from Louisiana, Lopez one with the beer bald head,
Montgomery who looks like Marcel Wiley, and then uh, I
can't remember, then the other guy's name. But it was
(31:06):
surprising because they had all been sent because Southwest. The
captain at Southwest had told him, hey, uh, Michael Barry's
doing something, you know, go by there. And so they,
all of them, when you weren't there, were saying, yeah,
we love this place. We come here all the time.
We want to support him. He does it, he does
a great job. I thought, well, that's really nice. That's
(31:26):
very nice. I enjoyed meeting Amaya, your daughter, and Christian
and I can't remember the other girls named the cute
little girl with the with the big eyelashes. Oh uh oh, Jaden, Yeah, hey,
we had a moment. We had a cultural moment because
I said, what's your name? She said, Jaden. She's fluttering
(31:48):
those eyes like wind is moving because those eyelashes or so,
the wind is moving and it's like a fan was
on me in India they call it a Punkah. It's
these big things they had taxed and the air was moving.
It was the butterfly effect. And I said, Jaden, I said,
is that with the why or without? She said, oh,
it's with the why. I said, okay, go on and
I said, uh so j y d e n. She
(32:10):
said no, like that was the dumbest thing ever. She said,
j A d y n. Well, of course, I mean,
I mean, yeah, why wouldn't it be j A d
y n. That was my moment. I did have a
nice conversation with you, with your wife Martha, by the way,
(32:30):
that nice fellow Omar with South Texas Construction they're going
to fabricate a solution for your gate and uh somebody
else told me they wanted to do something for it. Well,
you're living a dream, y'all. Are working your butts off.
You're gonna make it. And I'm proud of you, and
I hope that you woke up today more optimistic than
(32:54):
ever and saw that people really care, because yeah, it's cool,
it's cool. I'm god, I had to know you. Paul Jacob,
the third
Speaker 3 (33:05):
H
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
As a guy who was spent thirty four years deporting
the illegal aliens, I got a message to the mands
of illegal aliens that Joe Biden's released in our country
and violation of federal law. You better start packing now
your damn right, because.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
You are going home.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
We have seen one estimate that says it would cost
eighty eight billion dollars to deport a million people a year.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I don't know if it's actually or not.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Is that what American taxpayers should expect?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
What price do you put on a national security? Is
that worth it?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
And I want to send a message to everybody who's
in this country illegally. While you've heard from Kamala Harris
that she's going to give you free Medicare benefits and
free healthcare benefits, She's going to give you free housing
benefits paid for by American taxpayers. Donald Trump's gonna win
the White House. We all believe that, right. So our
(01:40):
message to illegal aliens who are in this country without
the consent of the American people. Is you got four months?
Pack your bags because you're going home.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
A friend's wife escaped birth, had a C section, and
it's always the discussion now doctors, it's a I guess
I I'm cynical.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
You kind of have to be realistic. Maybe friends, I've
had a baby and the doctor said, uh, we need
we need to schedule this. Y schedule Wait, why are
why are we scheduling it? Whatever happened to the idea
of having a baby. Well, if they just said, hey, look,
(03:07):
I've been practicing medicine for twenty years. I don't want
to be You're gonna up having this baby two o'clock
in the morning, that's what happens. And I'm on the
phone trying to get a little more shut eye, and
you're screaming and hollering, and she's screaming and hollering, and
you all want me up here at the hospital, and
I'm telling you, you know, check how dilated it is.
And you're freaking out and trying to do your lama's
(03:29):
breathing and grab your bags, all the bags you packed,
and she's screaming, and you're screaming because she's screaming in
and let's just not do that. Let's go in and
have a procedure, you know, like everything else, and we'll
come out with a baby. Okay, all right. If it
reminds me that as a kid, I thought the word
(03:49):
cesarean started with the letter S. You'd think it would, right,
And I remember I went and looked it up in
the dictionary and it was in the C section. Remo,
what do a tick in the Eiffel Tower have in common?
(04:10):
There are both parasites. I took the batteries out of
the carbon monoxide alarm. The loud beeping was giving me
a headache and making me feel sick and dizzy. Yesterday
we came into the studio. Chad had prepped a particular
(04:34):
story of note that a small barbecue joined black owned
in a predominantly black part of town called Jacob's Jacs
Barbecue had been hit by thieves yet again, multiple times,
(04:55):
two times in a matter of a few days, at
least three times in a slightly longer period of time.
Pretty frustrating, and the fellow told the story that he
lost twelve hundred dollars worth of barbecue. They stole his
barbecue so we got him on the phone. Jim Mud
tracked him down. His wife got him on the phone,
and he told his story. And the longer we talked,
(05:21):
the more we felt for this fella. You know, he's
just trying to make it. And it turns out his daughter, Amaya,
just graduated from college and she works at the restaurant,
and wife, Martha's from here. He was from here, moved
away and came back. And we decided we're going to
(05:42):
raise a little money for him. So we put in
a thousand to seed the thing, and I thought to myself,
we may get three. That'd be good. We get three thousand,
and we will use that to feed the police officers
in the area, because that'll do some good, get some
officers in the store. It turns out the officers like
that place already. They stopped by there on their patrols.
(06:02):
And we ended up raising five We delivered three of
it yesterday, but the other two thousand has Some of
it's already been delivered in. Others of it have been mailed.
And we know the folks. It's mostly show sponsors who've
written the checks, and we know when they say they're
doing something, they're doing something. So it ends up being
it'll be well over five with the last few that
I heard of last night in this morning, and they
(06:25):
did sixteen hundred dollars at lunch yesterday, and we had
between ten and twenty people I can't remember how many,
because Emily handled it who wanted to a Zell account
so they could send money. So Paul Jacobs started the
day frustrated with all that was going on, and when
his head at the pillar last night, I know he
(06:45):
felt blessed. And I know he noticed that people care
about being a victim of crime and people care about
you running a small business. We did some good and
we did that because of all of you, and I
appreciate you for that. I wish you all could have
(07:06):
enjoyed the moment when we left, when he took my
hand right hand in hand, left hand on my left
shoulder and said, mister Barry, this was a huge blessing
to me and my family, and quit eating all my barbecue.
That's true, but but y'all made that happen, and those
(07:28):
are the moments that those are, those are special moments.
So one of the stories that touched me was we
decided that the money that we spent, there would be
an expense account for officers to go and eat, not
free on our behalf and on your behalf. And so
I got emails from several people, and I wanted to
(07:50):
bundle the checks as much as I could. So Tyd
Strickland lives up in Cyprus, and he picked up a
check from Ben Barlow with Barlow Hervey contractor. One of
the checks he's picking up from Joe Slovacik, a friend
of mine who's the lawyer Tina Bartley. His secretary wrote
an extra two hundred herself because the food was going
to police officers. And I thought, and that's just cool.
(08:11):
People are cream they really are. Everyone listens to Michael
Berry show Lucky Stop. Harris County's government really is such
a mess. Right now. Here's just one more example. Lena Hidalgo,
(08:36):
the absolutely crazy Nutty County judge, was late for Harris
County meeting this week. Harris County Commission's Court meeting. Adrian Garcia,
a Democrat. They used to be buddy buddy, but he's
(08:56):
had it with her. He starts the meeting with her.
So I'm guessing Rodney must have picked up the phone
and called her and said, get in here fast, you're
going to do stuff. So she comes bounding in and
with that crazy tone in her voice, starts in on
(09:17):
things and again has a little melt. Now like a child,
she really is, like the little girl who is my party?
And I'll cry if I want to. I want to
dress up like princess today. Uh, but it's finals. What
do you do? I want to a princess. I'm a prentest.
In her mind, it makes all the sense in the world.
She was installed there so that Rodney could control her.
(09:41):
I don't know if he knew she was nuts already,
but she was a Hispanic female. Uh, not unattractive, it
would be she speaks Spanish. It would be perfect. It
would be a great story nationwide. Rodney could use this story,
and he has, and he got her elected, and they
cheated in the next election and they got her reelected.
Now she's had some pretty serious criminal problems in the
meeting time, but so far, so good, because at the
(10:03):
end of the day, very very infrequently is anyone actually
prosecuted and sent away. Mostly there might be an announcement,
there's an investigation, but really very little ever happens. So
here is that meeting, and this is how dysfunctional Harrison
County quotas. It's Adrian Garcia presiding. He's taken over the chair.
And then you'll hear her come bounding in motion.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
To direct County Administration to work with all court offices
and return on May eighth with a revised job description
specific to the interim county administrators.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Can I come back in all right? Well I don't.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
I mean it would be nice to to be.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Able to participate as well. So let me. I just
got here. I mean, who called.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It wasn't me.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
We're just going to just I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (10:54):
Emotion was made by commission to direct. I don't understand
why why I was called to order without me.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
We were told that you were not coming back on
so that.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
I did because you had said that ten o'clock was
the time that you needed to be gone.
Speaker 9 (11:10):
I said, I'll catch you guys on the other I'll
catch you guys on the other side.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I said, I'll read the emotion.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
And and we'll go over the flight is so late
because there's a storm, and then I certainly would have
the furst.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I can make a motion to bring item back up.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
Whenever you like check with your staff to confirm.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Right there, what you're watching is Rodney. These are all Democrats.
Ramsey's not speaking here. Ramsey's the only Republican down there.
These are all Democrats, and Rodney's trying to regain control
because look, he's got this slush fund here, he's got
this this honey hole, and he needs them to stop.
The Internacene fighting is drawing attention. People are gonna look,
(11:52):
we're gonna end up with federal investigators. We're gonna end
up with We've got folks out there, Charles Blaine, Bob showed,
Marissay Hanson, we got all Holly Hansen writing for the text.
You get all these people out there and they're poking around,
and y'all are going to end up exposing what's going
on down here. When you start that fire, we're all
gonna get burned. Uh. He's having to deal with her
(12:14):
her mental health problems. Judge. You know, we'll bring it
back up, and he's trying to tamp it all down
because he's the godfather. You guys, come on now, don't
give the citizens or or the Republicans, or you don't
give them any insight into what's going on.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Guys, come on, Judge, I can make a motion to
bring item back up whenever you check with your staff
to confirm that you're there or not there.
Speaker 7 (12:41):
So would you like me to read it?
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Judge?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Okay, So motion to a point Jesse Dickerman to the
role of interim Comty Administrator and budget Officer effective. Did
we lose your.
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Judge, she's gone off camera, Judge, yes, just for you.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
Tune your camera on.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yeah, I'm working on it.
Speaker 8 (13:04):
Can you guys see me?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
We can see you if you will.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
I don't think I'll have the looks.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That option.
Speaker 8 (13:16):
To direct the Interim County Administrator that they develop and
execute their plan to dissolve the Office of Countyministration by
September thirtieth. The plan should include an assessment of functions
existing within OC eight and recommendations of where those functions
should be moved, whether they be placed in other departments,
including joined with existing functions in other departments to reduce duplication,
(13:37):
or whether they should exist in one or more departments.
The report should be transmitted to Commission's court offices by
June sixth.
Speaker 10 (13:44):
Second motion by Commissioner Garcia, second by Commissioner Ramsey All
in favor.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
In your post. No, I'm a post motion fills. Now.
What happened there, so you know, is Rodney created a
county administrator. It has always been the case that the
county judge, which is not really a judge, that's just
(14:14):
a term used in Texas. It's not a person that
wears a robe and passes guilt or innocence or has trials.
The county judge is basically the county mayor. It's always
been the case. So Rodney installs Lenna Hidalgo, and with
each passing moment he figures out new ways to perfect
his scheme, and he figured out, we've got to get
(14:35):
power away from these county commissioners because they're trying to
meddle in the county's business. Imagine that they're the county commissioners.
I need a person I can control who's a full
time bureaucrat. So they create the county administrator's office, and
that person costs. That office costs millions and millions of
(14:56):
dollars to duplicate what's already done. But it's sort of
like when Barack Obama created czars and he had people
like Van Jones that he couldn't get through the Senate
because they had criminal convictions and open problems in their lives,
so he would just announce this is the czar of
bizar of that. So Rodney created the County Administrator office
(15:21):
to be the person everything would be done there, and
he would control that person and they would report only
to him. So this was a vote to prevent the
replacement of the last county administrator. Scandal plagued, but it
only had the two votes Adrian Garcia, which is really
an few to Rodney, and mostly Lena and Tom Ramsey,
(15:45):
and then Leslie Brioni's who you'll remember. They placed there
because they can control her. They tried to put her
in a court position. She and Rodney and Lena go
against it. Oh, it is so disfunct. His finger on
the pulse. The kitting team continues on the Michael Berry Show.
(16:10):
She knows consumed me clever little stuff all the time.
One of them was those short piece It said confused.
I've become confused when I hear the word service used
with these agencies Internal revenue service, US Postal service, Cable
(16:31):
TV service, civil service, federal state, city and public service,
customer service. This is not what I thought servicemant. But
today I overheard two farmers talking and one of them
said he had bought a bull to service his cows. Bam,
it all came into focus. Now I understand what all
(16:52):
those agencies are doing to us. That's kind of one
of those things you get ramon that The subject line
is FW colon space, FW colon space, FW colon space,
FW colon space, and it might end at the at
the on the backside of it, it might end with
a Now you probably won't forward this, she don't love
(17:16):
America or Jesus nor nothing good, but a few of
you will because you're good people. Usually something like that
on the back end. Usually something like that on the
back end, So you know, oh no, no, let me, let
me get to something else first. Let me get to
(17:36):
something else first. That eighty five Chicago Bears team. I'm
sure some of you remember that eighty five Chicago Bears
team and whether you were a Bears fan. I wasn't,
but you couldn't help but fall in love with that team.
There was there was something amazing about it. And Mike
(17:59):
did has said the toughest player he ever coached on
was on that team, and that was Steve McMichael. He's
born in Houston in sixty He was born in Houston.
He was sixty seven years old, went to Freer High School,
went to the University of Texas. He was drafted by
(18:23):
the New England Patriots and his dream was over. After
one year, he was cut. He wasn't good enough to
play for what was at that time a middling team,
but with a very good quarterback Steve Grogan. After one
season they cut him. Chicago picks him up as a
(18:43):
free agent. He would go on to a Hall of
Fame plus plus plus career. The guy could have played
in any era. One of the toughest human beings in life.
People describe him as and he has suffered for years
(19:05):
with als. He just passed away the last couple of days.
Was he sixty seven. I think he's number was sixty seven.
Just interesting because as tough as Mango was, you know,
I've known men who were extraordinarily tough and seemingly invincible.
(19:31):
The blow they could take in the ring on the field,
in life, the ability to persevere through horrible things in life,
and then when that darn body goes and there's nothing
they can do about it. It's tough. It's tough to work,
especially somebody who has been so tough and so strong.
(19:52):
The story from CBS Chicago, where he is a legend
see my Goo.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Michaels before he was the larger than live Steve Mongo.
McMichael known for his dominance on the football field for
the Bears and as many endeavors off of it. McMichael
was a six sports standout in high school in Texas,
where he would also play his college ball. McMichael joined
the Bears in nineteen eighty one, signing with him after
the team that drafted him, New England, released him after
just one season.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I think our defensive lines is the best defensive line
in pro football.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
He would go on to become a key part of
what is widely regarded as one of the best defenses
in NFL history. In nineteen eighty five, the first of
three straight All Pro seasons at defensive tackle, he helped
lead the Bears to their only Super Bowl title, recording
a sack in Super Bowl twenty. McMichael would play thirteen
seasons with the Bears from nineteen eighty one to nineteen
ninety three and ranked second only to Richard denn in
(20:44):
team history with ninety two and a half sacks. A
part of six Division championship teams, McMichael was a two
time first team All Pro.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
I'm much rather play against an older guy like Montana
that goes down when you breathe on him.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
McMichael retired after the nineteen ninety four season, but was
far from being done in the spotlight. He appeared briefly
with WWF before going on to wrestle and commentate for
World Championship Wrestling for five years. McMichael's post career pursuits
also included a run for mayor in Romeoville and coaching
the Indoor Football League team, the Chicago Slaughter and don't worry,
I'll have it.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I'll have some speaks without home played umpire every game.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
And he was famously ejected from a Cubs game in
two thousand and one by homeplate umpire Angel Hernandez, who
didn't care for Mango calling him out before singing take
me out to the ballgame. In twenty twenty one, McMichael
revealed he was battling als. Three years later, along with
family and friends who had four years pushed for it,
celebrated McMichael getting elected to the Pro Football Hall of
(21:41):
Fame es your baby forever.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I've now known maybe ten people to die of ALS.
Dying of ALS is not the worst part. It's living
with it. It's a horrible, horrible, horrible thing. Yeah, just
(22:09):
seeing what somebody goes through. We had a show sponsor
who just absolutely loved us, and then was Sam Fortenberry
and he owned Southern Front Door. And once he got
the early diagnosis, he took his top guy, who was
(22:30):
also a family man, much younger, hard working, and he
brought him in and said, look, you want to buy
this business. Guy said, I don't think I can. I mean,
I'm just a lotally employee. He said, well, I'm going
to make it work for you. I want this business
to live on. And he did, and that fellow, his
wife and his adult kids, they all now run this business.
(22:51):
It's been over ten years since then. But watching Sam,
this was a guy who'd been a cop and then
he'd his Southern Front Door. We're still with the show
to this day and that's been almost twenty years. And
he'd been a cop and he started this business. He
worked all the time and he hadn't taken time for
(23:12):
himself and his wife Susan to really, you know, vacation,
and they didn't live large. It just worked. And so
he got the diagnosis and they got an RV, got
it retro fitted, and while he could still move around
a little bit, they went and toured the country in
an RV. I don't know how many young people have
that dream, but for my parents generation, that was the dream.
(23:35):
You know, you put in your forty years at the plant,
you get an RV and you load it up. You
and mama and y'all drive around the country, arguing at
each other and saying, huh, what what is that? Well,
if you look at a map, well, I don't look
at a map. I know where I tend go. You
know that's the dream, right, And so he did that
and they would send photos, and I went with Robert Rees,
(23:57):
who was his sales rep and really more of a
relationship manager and friend to them. We went to see
him a couple of weeks before he passed, and I'd
never seen somebody so deep in the throes of als.
But it's horrible because you basically die by complete atrophy.
And he said, I'm a very lucky man. My wife.
(24:17):
My wife gives me bourbon every day, and he knew
I loved bourbon, and he wanted me to take some
of his bourbon. And I said, well, Sam, that can't
help you. I mean, you're doing bourbon. You could barely
move the inside of your throat. And he said, what's
it going to do?
Speaker 10 (24:32):
Kill me?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
He's a good man at als. That's a bad thing.
I wish we could figure that one out. That's a bad.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
Bade to Michael Berry show is nichewide.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Mango McMichael was number seventy six, not sixty seven. I
transposed his numbers in my mind. The boy he was
a feat of human nature, was he not? Oh okay,
we've got Paul Paul Jacob the third, the owner of
Jacob's Barbecue on the line. Welcome sir, Good morning sir.
(25:08):
I sure did enjoy getting to meet you and your family. Sir.
Speaker 9 (25:13):
It was the feelings are mutual. Likewise, thank you so
much for mister Barry for pouring into our business the
way that she did. I always feel safe around the
man and women are blue, so that was a plus
to be a part of.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Thank you so much. Well, I can tell you that
I went home last night. Ramona and I were both
saying that we don't. We don't get out and do
as many things as we used to because the show
takes so much more out of us. But it was
(25:55):
as much joy for us as it was for you.
Let me just say that, and I wish you the best.
We went and looked at the at the new location
that you're looking at doing, and we could only see
through the glass, but it looked really, really perfect for
what you're doing. And yeah, I hope that works out
for you. The one at Beltway eight, I think that's
(26:19):
a good location. It's easy to get to, it's easy
to tell people where you are. Has a full bar there.
I mean, doesn't look like you'd need to do much
if anything. Just walk in and put a new sign
out front.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
Yeah, that's pretty much what the owner of the building said.
He said, everything is in there that we need to
do and and yeah, it's ready to go. Like you said,
just put the sign on the building. Oh, I'm thinking
about making that decision versus the one at the property
cross the street.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
For sure, I would do that if you you got
a lot more traffic going by there, and that's easy
to tell somebody Just come to the corner of belt
Way eight, and two eighty eight there's RV parking. Camp's
RV parking. I think it's a Chevron's unrelated. This has
nothing to do with whether you should do it or not.
But Ramona and I we walked the building, We watched
the parking lot. We was seeing who was coming in
(27:09):
and out. We went and looked into glass and all
that sort of stuff, and so I went in to
get us I wanted, I asked Ramone because Ramone drinks
diet pepsi or he was yesterday, which I thought was weird.
So I go to go in and I said, what
do you want? Said whatever, just a diet drink. I said, okay,
you want to diet coke, you want to diet pepsi.
(27:30):
She doesn't matter. And I thought that was a weird.
How can you not have a choice in that? I said,
all right, you want a diet coke or coke zero
because this is the two different flavors based on the
new coke versus the Classico. It doesn't matter. So I
brought a Coke zero and a diet coke and I
sat him on the console and he said, which one
do you want? I said, whichever one you don't want?
I want to see which one you'll pick, and he
(27:51):
could not care less. And I found that to be
the weirdest thing ever. I mean, that just felt weird.
But anyway, I tell you that, I tell you this.
I go in there and I go with my I
have my coke zeros, and I go walking up there.
Indian or Pakistani guy behind the counter, because that's all
that's the only people that don't gas stations anymore. And
he's kind of real quiet, and I go walking up
(28:13):
there with him. But there's a middle high life, you know,
the old fashioned the Champagne of beers, if you will,
and it's very aggressively playing. He's got one of these.
It's like the old bank tellers. He's got one of these,
just a hole that you can look through to see him,
and then he can close it and you have to
slide the money underneath there. But it's open at this
point because we're not under attack, or at least we
(28:34):
don't think we are. The middle of high life is
in the middle of that whole, very aggressively placed. So
I go walking up there. I don't notice the midder
high life, so I'm not sure, but then I do.
I'm not sure whether to put my coke zero down
or not, so because I and then I realized there's
this white dude and he could be fifty or he
could be eighty. There's a lot of miles on there.
(28:55):
And it turns out he's tweaking. He's at the he's
at the sunglasses area, trying to decide what he's going
to do with his sunglasses. He's got his middle high
life in the middle. I'm looking at the clerk, he's
looking at me. We're looking back at him. Because the
transaction is wrung up for four fifty seven, so I
can't just step in the middle of the transaction, so
(29:16):
I don't know what's going on for He sat there
for about a minute, and I wished I could have
filmed it, because he was on something some kind of bad.
I mean, he was, you know, that kind of real
jerky and all that and real weather blondish kind of
stringy hair. And I sat there for a minute and
then I asked the guy. I said, Uh, what do
(29:36):
I need to do here? He said, oh, you know,
you just go ahead and pay for it. So he
scanned my stuff, and I'm thinking that dude's going to
come and shank me for interrupting his transaction. So I
took my diet coach and we went outside, and Ramona
and I sat out there for a while. And then
another woman who was a much younger version of him.
She could have just gotten out of prison. She's a
white woman. She got a bunch of tattoos. And she
comes out, I guess, of the restroom. So maybe he
(29:58):
was waiting on her. He'd already paid for it. Unclear.
I need some details. But they come out and they
get into an old trail blazer, remember the old Chevy
trailblazer in the eighties when they went smaller with it
by the mid the nighties. And she they got the
windows down, there's no ac it's not that hot at
that point. She gets in the driver's seat and he
comes around and gets in the passenger seat, and they
(30:20):
drove off. And I had so many questions, Paul, so
many questions. So I got a message that you were
extending the free barbecue because we have more than enough
to pay for yesterday to police officers who come by today.
Is that correct?
Speaker 9 (30:36):
That is correct, sir. Let's take care of these officers,
these people that serve us. Let's take care of them.
I love.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Sorry, well that's first class, you know. I spoke to
some of those officers yesterday. Fontineau, cute little light scan
black girl from Louisiana, Lopez one with the beer bald head,
Montgomery who looks like Marcel Wiley, and then uh, I
can't remember, then the other guy's name. But it was
(31:06):
surprising because they had all been sent because Southwest. The
captain at Southwest had told him, hey, uh, Michael Barry's
doing something, you know, go by there. And so they,
all of them, when you weren't there, were saying, yeah,
we love this place. We come here all the time.
We want to support him. He does it, he does
a great job. I thought, well, that's really nice. That's
(31:26):
very nice. I enjoyed meeting Amaya, your daughter, and Christian
and I can't remember the other girls named the cute
little girl with the with the big eyelashes. Oh uh oh, Jaden, Yeah, hey,
we had a moment. We had a cultural moment because
I said, what's your name? She said, Jaden. She's fluttering
(31:48):
those eyes like wind is moving because those eyelashes or so,
the wind is moving and it's like a fan was
on me in India they call it a Punkah. It's
these big things they had taxed and the air was moving.
It was the butterfly effect. And I said, Jaden, I said,
is that with the why or without? She said, oh,
it's with the why. I said, okay, go on and
I said, uh so j y d e n. She
(32:10):
said no, like that was the dumbest thing ever. She said,
j A d y n. Well, of course, I mean,
I mean, yeah, why wouldn't it be j A d
y n. That was my moment. I did have a
nice conversation with you, with your wife Martha, by the way,
(32:30):
that nice fellow Omar with South Texas Construction they're going
to fabricate a solution for your gate and uh somebody
else told me they wanted to do something for it. Well,
you're living a dream, y'all. Are working your butts off.
You're gonna make it. And I'm proud of you, and
I hope that you woke up today more optimistic than
(32:54):
ever and saw that people really care, because yeah, it's cool,
it's cool. I'm god, I had to know you. Paul Jacob,
